Tbh, maybe someone should try making an open-source dating app.
You know what, being a dev myself that’s something I’ll try as a hobby project. We’ll see how it work out.
Making a dating app is easy. Getting the users is not.
Getting women* users is not
There ain’t never a shortage of thirsty males haha
Well maybe after ww2 there was a time… But you get the point.
They should try men
Easy fix: The user base should be gay dudes
do 'em boys even need apps tho, seems like thats like one group of people who aint struggling to find true love haha
Honestly, dating apps are one of the cases for a federated system. Use whatever frontend you want, no one person owns the backend so they can’t sleazily monetize you. Probably would need to be a bit more cryptographic than something like lemmy or mastodon though.
I know about:
Alova- License: MPL-2.0
As always someone already thought of it 😂.
I’ll take a look.
IDK much about it, but this exists:
With activityhub gaining traction, I actually think it’s possible. You essentially self host your profile, which gets federated around. You swipe left/right, thereby accepting federation from a match of blocking.
This could work.
Could be a good idea to differentiate from exiating solutions.
Keep us posted pls.
Will do, but don’t expect anything for at least a few month. 😆
If you need machine learning to match people, send me a message lol

Most of the details are things that you might already know, or assumed was happening, but the article is a helpful resource for links, evidence, citations, and summaries
Forget dating apps. Is there a Lemmy community like R4R? If there is, I can’t find one.
